Meat free Mondays & banning bacon sarnies.

Thats all I need to know and I'm out

Heaven forfend for suggesting that the Daily Mail might not be quite the gospel of truth but there may, just may, be the tiniest possibility that some or all of that article is utter horseshit, suitable only for spreading on an organic allotment of the kind we'd ALL be forced to subsist on if these crazy lunatic hippies had their way.

Relying on the Daily Mail for information about politics/race/immigration/pretty much anything is a one-way path to ignorance.

Ignorance is also immediately disputing something just because it appears in a paper you don't like. Interestingly the usually sympathetic Guardian in my link were also mocking the Greens. As for meat and bacon bans etc is this more palatable for you?

I wasn't suggesting the Greens had made a good job in Brighton. Or indeed that the Guardian was especially a more reliable source (although with them it tends to be poor fact checking than outright lying).

Having had the misfortune to have been lumbered with Green Councillors for probably 5 plus years now they really are clueless.

In that time unless you are entirely environment focused they have no other policies.

A particular highlight was their attempt to control parking on my street which would have led to me paying £40 a year to no longer be able to park.

They are also as happy to blatantly lie as any other party!
